ADVANCED FEVER PACKAGE
The Advanced Fever Package offers a more comprehensive analysis for persistent or unexplained fever. It includes a broader range of tests to investigate deeper causes, such as specific infections, autoimmune markers, and more detailed inflammatory indicators.
AFB DRUG SENSITIVITY: MIC TEST FOR RAPID GROWING NON-TUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA (NTM)
This test identifies the most effective antibiotics for treating infections caused by rapid-growing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). It uses the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method to determine the lowest drug dose needed to stop the bacteria's growth, guiding precise treatment.
AFB RAPID GENOTYPIC TEST (MDR-TB) (Note: This test is not applicable for MOTT)
This rapid genotypic test identifies the presence of Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) and checks for specific genetic mutations associated with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It helps in quickly determining if the TB bacteria are resistant to common first-line medications. Please note, this test is specifically designed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is not applicable for other types of mycobacteria (MOTT).
AFB SECOND LINE DRUG- GENOTYPIC ASSAY (Note: This test is not applicable for MOTT)
This genotypic assay is used to detect resistance of Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB) to second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. It provides critical information when initial treatments are ineffective or if multi-drug resistance is suspected. This test is specifically for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and not for other mycobacteria (MOTT).
AFB SMEAR
An AFB Smear test involves examining a sample, such as urine, under a microscope to look for Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB). These bacteria are commonly associated with tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections. It's a quick screening method to detect the presence of these microorganisms.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Capreomycin
This test checks if acid-fast bacilli (AFB), commonly linked to tuberculosis, are susceptible to the antibiotic Capreomycin. It's crucial for tailoring effective treatment plans for these specific infections.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Pyrazinamide
This test determines if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to the antibiotic Pyrazinamide. It helps doctors understand if this specific medication will be effective in treating the infection.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : RIFABUTIN
This test checks if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to Rifabutin, an antibiotic used in certain TB treatment regimens. It helps guide treatment decisions, especially in specific patient cases.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Rifampicin
This test determines if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to Rifampicin, a key antibiotic in standard TB treatment. It's crucial for identifying effective treatment options.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY : Streptomycin
This test assesses if the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) are susceptible or resistant to Streptomycin, an injectable antibiotic sometimes used in TB treatment. It helps doctors select the best medication.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : 10 DRUG PANEL
This comprehensive test uses the BACTEC method to determine the susceptibility of tuberculosis-causing bacteria to a panel of 10 different anti-TB drugs. It provides a broad overview of drug resistance.
AFB SUSCEPTIBILITY, BACTEC : 13 DRUG PANEL
This test identifies which antibiotics can effectively treat an infection caused by acid-fast bacilli (AFB), such as tuberculosis. It uses a specialized BACTEC method to test the bacteria's response to 13 different drugs, guiding your doctor to the most effective treatment plan.
